Q#187: For those in the software know, how can I make sure I don’t screw things up if I upgrade to Office 2021 Professional?

10 Comments

I'm behind on upgrades. Like REALLY, REALLY, RIDICULOUSLY behind. I ask because I can FINALLY afford an upgrade (not gonna pay hundreds for a yearly activation code like with Office 365--passed that one right up). So, I have a Windows computer and it's amazing enough that even though I'm on Windows 10 Home (I always … Continue reading Q#187: For those in the software know, how can I make sure I don’t screw things up if I upgrade to Office 2021 Professional?

Q#186: If Halloween was the kind of holiday where you gathered for dinner–and kept the spooky theme going–what (actually edible) items could/should be on the menu (other than candy)?

2 Comments

I got to thinking about this when making my ham earlier (T-Day's gonna stretch over the weekend because I just got over a sinus infection and finally got my taste buds back... and I'm experimenting with half a dozen recipes, so not much time for other stuff this week). I am so glad I got … Continue reading Q#186: If Halloween was the kind of holiday where you gathered for dinner–and kept the spooky theme going–what (actually edible) items could/should be on the menu (other than candy)?

Blitz Q#185–Why do freeze-dried marshmallows melt better in hot chocolate than regular ones?

3 Comments

This is one that's bugged me for a while, but I forgot about til tonight when I went to make me a cup of hot cocoa (been getting over a sinus infection and needed something OTHER than tea for a bit of a sweet, slightly caffeinated pick-me-up). I always remembered getting Swiss Miss growing up … Continue reading Blitz Q#185–Why do freeze-dried marshmallows melt better in hot chocolate than regular ones?

Q #184–Has anybody ever done the home delivery of “ugly” fruits and veggies thing, and how was it?

3 Comments

I was browsing for staples online for my pantries (since I finally have some slightly disposable income, I felt it was a good time to stock up) and adjusting my renewed subscription to Thrive Market (love their organic stuff, it brings out my experimental side). I don't know how, but somehow I saw an ad … Continue reading Q #184–Has anybody ever done the home delivery of “ugly” fruits and veggies thing, and how was it?

Blitz Q# 183: Have you ever had a small thing happen that makes you question your sanity… for a few hours at least?

6 Comments

This one's mine: Have you ever had one of those mornings where your alarm clock goes off, so you turn it off, lay there a minute, then start going about your morning routine. Then, after (what feels like) a few minutes to half an hour later, the alarm clock goes off FOR REAL? And then … Continue reading Blitz Q# 183: Have you ever had a small thing happen that makes you question your sanity… for a few hours at least?

Blitz Q #182: Which part (of the cheating) was the “mistake”?

3 Comments

This is a question I'd love to ask when it comes to infidelity. How many times has the story come about, in movies, Reddit stories, anecdotes, etc.? Someone comes home, hears noises/music, follows it, finds their significant other in bed with another person. And then the cheater says something like: "Omg, omg, omg, I'm sorry, … Continue reading Blitz Q #182: Which part (of the cheating) was the “mistake”?

Q#181: To shave or not to shave (my head, as a woman, while job searching), that is the question…

13 Comments

Okay, my neck of the woods is under a heat advisory for the 3rd day in a row. Can't even take the dogs out before 7:45 pm because it's too freaking hot outside. And worse, my hair has been growing back the past few months, thick as always, but looks awful thanks to the big … Continue reading Q#181: To shave or not to shave (my head, as a woman, while job searching), that is the question…

Blitz Q #180: As “pro-lifers” cheer Roe v. Wade’s demise, how do you think they will react to the sudden surge of men making appointments for vasectomies?

8 Comments

This whole Roe v Wade smashing just pisses me off and has left me sour the past few weeks. But at the same time, when I saw this article all over the social media feeds, I started to smile a bit, because I can't help but picture the faces of the Religious Right and pro-life-birth … Continue reading Blitz Q #180: As “pro-lifers” cheer Roe v.

Borrowed Q #179: Why does homemade loaf bread look & feel NOTHING like what I find in the bakery or bread aisle at the grocery store?

2 Comments

I've been doing some canning (will tell you more about the results later) and taking a step back from that to look for jobs and look at bread recipes, too. Yes, I'm rather boring these days. But this question kept popping in my head when I realized if I go back to making bread, I'd … Continue reading Borrowed Q #179: Why does homemade loaf bread look & feel NOTHING like what I find in the bakery or bread aisle at the grocery store?

Q #178– If you’ve tried canning your own food, did it really help with expenses & do you think it’s really worth it today?

4 Comments

I guess this is the perfect corollary to my previous question about freezing and batch cooking, and makes more sense for me to try as a long-term solution to keeping food handy and keeping costs down. At least, that's the theory. What really made me think hard about it was the fact that having a … Continue reading Q #178– If you’ve tried canning your own food, did it really help with expenses & do you think it’s really worth it today?
